Ping Don Klipstein - Series String Bulb Shunts
Just what is in the "shunt" built into series string decorative lamp bulbs which takes over when the filament opens? Is it something like a PTC thermistor which heats up and melts some powdered metal into a permanent short? My curious mind wants to know. Thanks, Jeff -- Jeffry Wisnia (W1BSV + Brass Rat '57 EE) The speed of light is 1.8*10^12 furlongs per fortnight. |
